Ex-cop turned district attorney Adam Forsythe is running for city council. Pediatrician Eden Hathaway asks for his help in getting publicity for her group, Grow a Garden, Grow a Child, and after checking out the project, Adam finds himself charmed and intrigued by their cause. He finds the pretty doctor even more charming and intriguing. As Adam and Eden work together, they find that it's not just Eden's garden that is budding into something more than it was at its start.
But just as they begin to explore and admit their feelings for each other, Adam wins his seat on the council. When he is unable to sway the rest of the members to vote in favor of allowing the site to remain in the hands of the garden project, Eden is devastated and rejects his attempts at reconciliation. Can she put aside her feelings of betrayal to recognize his love for her?
